From e221d028bb08b47e624c5f0a31732c642db9d19a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 10:02:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched,rt: fix isolated CPUs leaving root_task_group indefinitely throttled Root task group bandwidth replenishment must service all CPUs, regardless of where the timer was last started, and regardless of the isolation mechanism, lest 'Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"' become rt scheduling policy.
